This week in Xbox Live Arcade –
Trials HD hits the Arcade this week and can be best described as endless frustration and fun, or for lack of a better term… funstration. This is one of those games where you find yourself saying, “OOOOOHHHH I WAS SOOO CLOSE!”, then you fall back in your seat, sigh, lean forward and try again until you nail it.
In the Trials mode you can race against the clock on your way through the obstacle courses, being careful not to crash and burn. If you don’t like timed events you can try your thumbs at the more unconventional skill based games where speed and finish times take a back seat, and concentration and control are the key. Though both modes require you to anticipate the balance of your rider using the games’ incredible physics engine.
There are over 50 levels if you include the level editor where you can make your own tracks and challenge your friends. Trials HD extensively tracks your progress and displays your friends’ records in the game so you know where you fall short. Try all the tracks with different sized bikes and see which one will take you to the top of the leaderboards.
